Achraf Hakimi is a Real Madrid youth academy product, and last season under Zidane, he had his breakthrough year, but could not cement his place, and thus in this new season he has been loaned out to German giants Borussia Dortmund.

The Moroccan international has been one of the best players for Dortmund, as they are on top of Bundesliga, and are 9 points clear of arch rivals Bayern Munich. Hakimi has made 11 appearances for Dortmund, scoring 1 goal and further providing 3 assists.

Though he is on a two year loan deal, Manchester United could sign him after his loan term ends in Germany. The youngster has shown plenty of what he is capable of, and should be a good signing for The Red Devils.

United's case to sign him could be further strengthened by the arrival of Álvaro Odriozola at Real Madrid, which could see Hakimi leaving the Santiago Bernabeu to make way for the Spaniard.

The Dortmund loanee uses his physicality well, which should help him adjust to the robust nature of the Premier League. He is also a good passer and dribbler, and he is capable of playing on either of the flanks.

Out of the three listed, he is youngest at the age of 20, and the right offer could tempt Los Blancos into cashing in on him when his loan deal expires.
